When landing on your shooting foot, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. Line up on the baseline shoulder-to-shoulder. Put your ball on the ground in the control position. When I say, “GO!” dribble your ball forward. When I say, “SHOOT!” kick your ball forward and land on your shooting foot. Retrieve your ball and dribble it back to the midline.
2. Repeat as many times as necessary.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Rocket Launch II. In this game, the objective is to launch a rocket (soccer ball) past the asteroid (defender) by kicking a rocket in the air and landing on your shooting foot, in hopes of landing on a planet (caught by a teammate).   

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select two rocket launchers.
• I will select one asteroid.
• The planets will line up behind the baseline.
• When I say, “GO!” launch a rocket one at a time to the planets in orbit.
• If a planet catches a rocket, he/she can join the launchers.
• Rockets rolled on the ground do not count; they must be kicked in the air.
• Focus on landing on your shooting foot.
• If an asteroid blocks a rocket, the rocket is dead.
• We will begin a new round when there are no more planets left.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Select two capable rocket launchers for the first game. 
  • Remind students to be aware of balls being punted around them. Use the term, “Heads up!” to warn students of an incoming ball they do not see.
• ELL Accommodation: 
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation: 
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications. 
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.
• Reflection: 
  • If you shoot the ball with your right foot, then you should land on your right foot after the shot. True or False?
  • How could you help a classmate practice their shooting?

OBJECTIVE

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into four teams.
• Before the game begins, come up with a strategy for your team.

• You must pass at least once to a teammate before scoring.
• Try to land on your shooting foot when shooting on goal.
• More than one ball may be thrown into the field at a time.
